Andrea Stavros

Andrea Stavros was a large Greek man and longtime friend and ally of Captain Keith Mallory. A former lieutenant colonel in the Greek Army, he'd served as Mallory's trusted lieutenant during a mission in Crete. He had a tragic past. Mallory considered him such a close friend and confederate that he often thought of Andrea as his "alter ego" and "doppelganger" in many ways, due to his resemblance to Mallory. Despite his great strength, he was a very patient and even-tempered man.

Mallory asked him to come along as part of Lieutenant Andy Stevens' team because Andrea spoke excellent Greek and knew the culture of the Navarone islanders well. Once on Navarone, he proved invaluable to the group, and killed the cruel German officer Captain Skoda. After the destruction of the guns of Navarone, Andrea, Mallory and the other surviving members of their team were rescued by the crew of the Sirdar.
